In a word- Outclassed! The trainer should have thrown the towel in or the ref should have stopped the fight in order to prevent any brain damage. The offer of a gynacological examination was also a bit different, it would be nice to see a bit of class from the ring card girls. Otherwise an entertaining fight, the punters got what they came to see.
